M39 Mosin Nagant

**PRB** · 07-08-2018, 13:19

Fired a scoped Mosin the other day and really liked it so am looking for a Finnish model M39....I see them on Gunbrokers in the 400-600 buck range in VG condition (matching bolts/receivers) with excellent bores/rifling.

Anyone know of a different reliable source....with the 'millions' in circulation didn't know they would be in that price range?

Will scope it myself.

Nice shooter. Got all three, long, middle and short. The shorty kicks like a mule.

Unless modified they come with a straight bolt. You going to turn it down for the scope?

Nope...just move the scope forward...I've always been partial to T bolts anyways..had a Mauser like that as a kid.
Bought at Sears and Roebuck when 16 w/200 rounds type K armor piercing ammo. They and I had no idea...could shoot thru telephone poles. Think I paid about 26 bucks for the rifle.

Bought a nice Finnish Mosin from an old lady at work a few months ago for $200 and it was pretty nice. Her husband passed away and it was sitting in her closet. Shot it a few times and then sold it for $300. I've had a Russian Mosin too but the Finnish ones are considerably better.

My long one is American. Made by Westinghouse in 1915.

Remington made some nice ones too.
